'Charmed' Reboot Unveils Character Descriptions

While most are still hesitant about the upcoming Charmed reboot, The CW is moving forward with casting the next gen show.

According to TVLine, the three new sisters will be called Macy, Mel and Madison Pruitt and casting is well underway. All ethnicities are being sought for all the roles.

Set in the present day, the new Charmed is described as “a fierce, funny, feminist reboot” and centered on “three sisters in a college town who discover they are witches.”

Casting is also underway for a “devilishly handsome” advisor (aka Whitelighter) Harry, as well as Macy’s documentary filmmaker-boyfriend Galvin and Madison’s “sensitive loner” ex-beau Brian.

Macy: A witty, intense science nerd, Macy — who is in her late 20s — is a Ph.D. in quantum physics who’s moving with her boyfriend Galvin to Hilltowne, Michigan, to work in the university lab. Macy has reason to believe that she is the sister of Mel and Madison. Her power is telekinesis.

Mel Pruitt: A strong-willed feminist, she feels deeply and is a bit controlling. Mel — who is in her mid 20s and a lesbian — is the sister of Madison. In the wake of a tragic accident, the grieving Mel becomes angry, defiantly unkempt, even violent, pushing away those who might help her, including her girlfriend, Detective Soo Jin. Mel’s power is time-freezing.

Madison Pruitt: Mel’s younger sister (she’s 18-ish), an athletic (pilates, cheerleading) college student pledging a sorority, Madison is the opposite of her feminist sister with a desire to fit in. Madison is horrified to learn she is a witch. Her power is hearing people’s thoughts.
